==Suspension== |
|||
The film was banned in Bangladesh. "The film Meherjaan, which was released in Dhaka in January 2011, was quickly pulled out of theatres after it created a furore among audiences. The hostile responses to the film from across generations highlight the discomfort about the portrayal of a raped woman, and its depiction of female and multiple sexualities during the [[Bangladesh Liberation War]] of 1971. The film's stance against Bangladeshi nationalism also created a stir among audiences."<ref>Nayanika Mukherjee, [[Economic and Political Weekly]], VOL 46 No. 12 March 19–25, 2011</ref> |
|||
On November 3, 2011, the [[University of Massachusetts Boston]] screened the film in advance of a panel discussion by Boston academics.<ref>http://www.thedailystar.net/newDesign/news-details.php?nid=210262</ref> |
